Job well done…. Strike Da Box! K
Yup, good job. Ya gotta wonder if the drowning man in Illinois might have been saved if a suited rescuer had gotten to him sooner.
I think it’s pretty obvious that he stood a better chance to survive if someone had gotten to him sooner. This video is not even a minute long so do we even know how long it took the rescuer to reach the dog? Was it more or less time than it took in Illinois? I wasn’t able to view the full article, so maybe it provided that information. Regardless, I don’t think you can draw much of a comparative conclusion about the two. This one was successful, but I’m sure we could find a video in which the would be rescuers became “victims”.
Nice work. A life saved is a life saved.
@Fire21: I was thinking the same thing! Things that make you go hmmm!
